Who knows though? Maybe pebble will make red watches first for pre-orders. And just skip all the early ones that aren't red. With kickstarters all that mattered was what color you ordered, and not when.

Not likely they just acquired people - I expect a noncompete would be in play in this case. Sounds a bit paranoid to me. Some solid competition will light a fire under the pebble SDK. Just hope its sooner rather than later.

Maybe. They still have all these old promises, like the SDK and the order of shipping, up in the air. Until they take them back, they are still out there, festering. I'm not in for a multipack, but those folks, who ponied up the most money, are also the most screwed. And the happy happy twitter feed is like salt.

They raised 10 million dollars by promising pebbles. I didn't buy one exactly, I was promised one. I was promised in the most recent update they would discuss what was up with the color pebbles. They could have said: "We'll make red first, then grey, then white, then orange. It will take about X weeks to do each color, and we'll be shipping the first red pebble in about Y weeks. Our apologies to orange backers, but we'll get to you as soon as we can". They did no such thing. So some people who backed on the first day are getting their promised pebbles weeks after other backers who ordered later, even though at another time, the pebble team promised that they would ship the pebbles in order of backer order. I agree that no binding contract has been broken, just promise after promise after promise.
